| description | The present work exhibits the partial research results on the agriproductive and environmental implications of the farmland modernization policy that was applied in the Mexicali Valley. The angle that is analyzed in this document shows that the transfer process of the irrigation districts to the users took various meanings during the different initiation, stabilization and consolidations periods after five years of its formalization. Unlike the initial position, at present the users find that it was beneficial, and that it tends to develep their capabilities for selfprocedures, especially with regards to the operation of water and infrastructure. However, there are several constraints still, mainly dealing with organizational issues that refer to the management training of users, internal and institutional coordination, organizational development and normativeness. Such aspects are key factors for the slow progress in accomplishing the main objectives of the transfer: self-sufficiency and efficient water use. |
